Patient's question:
What is a prostate calcification focus? The ultrasound doctor mentioned it during my health check-up. Lately, I've been experiencing occasional lower abdominal pain. Besides kidney stones, I want to know if medication can treat the prostate?Doctor's answer:
The effectiveness of medication for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is greatly related to the severity of the condition. Generally, for mild hyperplasia that does not affect urination, lifestyle adjustments such as reducing alcohol consumption, avoiding spicy foods, preventing constipation, maintaining warmth, and balancing work and rest are usually sufficient. If urinary discomfort symptoms appear, medication can be initially used under the guidance of a specialist doctor. If symptoms do not improve after medication, surgical treatment should be considered.
